Shame i missed this 20% off
@Baudelaire do you have any users running these vertical?
Curious on these flat one direction lights and if its even beneficial to be used vertically. Bulbs seem to be beneficial because without a reflector their light is transmitted 360 degrees.
The area I would like to light up would be 2 4x8s. I currently have a flat 4x8 that I used 14 X2s driven by 2 320s and 4 QB304s driven by 2 240s. I love the X2s. Spreads the light well.
I would like to keep this at 1600w around that. Was thinking 36 X2s 18 for each 4x8 panel.
Mounting them parallel with the floor stacked 6 strips up with 6" between the strips. This covers the 48" vertical nicely. Doing this 3 times down the run. Just being 18in long id need 10" spacing to cover the 96" length and at that its only 94" assuming 10" of dead space between panels and at each end. Each 6 X2 panel driven by a 240h driven so each panel is 270w. Each strip around 25w.
Inspired by nitros 2000w over 81sq.ft. setup. Seems he gets good bud density from a little under 25w/sq.ft.
Curious on your thoughts

Folks use SolStix X2s in vertical arrangements all the time. Particularly our X2-Red/Blue strips in tent and cabinet grows when a little more deep red and deep blue is desired. Others build side-lighting racks like your plan for larger canopies or trellis arrangements.
As long as they are mounted parallel to the floor in a rack with appropriate heatsinking they are tremendous at eliminating fluffy buds (larf) at the edges and down the stems of the canopy. Even with 50w of LED mounted every 6 inches across the top of an entire canopy, as long as reflective sides are being used (which they should be) there will be a degree of PFFD (light intensity) variance from the center to the edges. Side lighting levels out that variance so that every bud is in the “sweet spot”.
And yes, in that design and with premium LEDs, basically a “box of light”, 25w/sf should be an excellent overall rule of thumb.

Hey, we have everything in stock, just working on getting it up on the website. We have 48" Rax kits in stock with our new X3 strips - these are overall 3900K spectrum with Samsung 301B SL bin chips in a 1:2 ratio of 5000K and 3000K, plus a couple of deep red and far red Osram diodes to round out the solar-mimic spectrum.
There will be a small price bump when we list them but if you want to commit now I can send an invoice at the current pricing for the kit with the older strips. Just need a billing name, address and email. If you prefer you can send to me at sales@solstrip.com.
